Although I haven’t made an in-depth study, I have noticed that writers increasingly write lengthy articles regurgitating someone else’s research, instead of doing research of their own. Sometimes they don’t even bother to provide the link to the original research that they are busily commenting upon. This also goes for regular news stories. How many times have we been directed to someone’s blog headline, only to find out that they are reporting about a news story originating from a newspaper, TV report, etc. Most of the time, the blog offers no original insights or comments of their own just regurgitates the original article.
Actually reading the articles and pointing this out to misguided liberals (but I repeat myself) only makes our case for conservative principles stronger. That sure as hell makes a more compelling argument than pointing to the publication or network and just saying "(Fill in the blank) is just libtard garbage".
